Honestly, what does it matter? Its only more relevant info being contributed to an informative thread....
Here is my car with Eibach/Tokcios - which is currently removed so I can cut a coil off the fronts.

Just so Nick can get an idea of other options... I think he is still trying to figure out which spring to go with.
Tokico/Moogs(with atleast 50k), 225-55's.

Josh, your car has a nice stance. Are your CCs cut at all? How's the ride? I'm looking for a bit of a stiff ride.
Also, the Eibach -1 coil looks good in the pics posted here but I've seen other pics of Eibachs -1 coil and they look like stock ride hight... WTH?

Yes, they have 1.5 coils off the fronts, and 1 off the rears. Ride is VERY stiff, much more than Eibach, and alittle more than Intrax. They have great ride quality, that is, if the road permits. But as soon as you push the car into the turns the car sets and doesn't let go. Karson(greenbeanmtx) has been in my car while I took the car around TWS. It would probably be a good idea to ask him about the ride/handling, just from an outside source.
I have them on Tokico's though... Don't know how they will react with Koni, and I don't think anyone has ran that combo yet(atleast I haven't heard of it).
I'm still up in the air about pulling another .5 coil out. I'm running a 25'' dia tire now(225-50) and I have alittle more wheel gap. However, the car is lower than it was in that picture, i.e subframe to ground. However, I do plan on running some GenIII wheels with some 225-55's... like I said, still up in the air.
As far as cut coils and their differences... You have to remember that different year SHO's had different spring codes. This is probably one of the main reason for different drop heights.. But strut mounts are a close second.

Nick, if you can find a set of Intrax, I thought they were great on my silver car (with Tokicos), especially compared to the coilovers. The initial soft rate made it drivable on the street, but once compressed into the higher rate they were very stiff. Unfortunately it seems like Intrax and Tokicos are both very hard to find now.

It probably gets stiff suddenly because you are riding on the bumpstops.
No, it's just the progressive nature....the Intrax are really soft initially (slightly stiffer than stock IIRC...close to the initial on the eibachs) but once through that the secondary rate is really firm.

I find that hard to believe. Or you don't drive the car hard . Or I'm going to love the Tokicos I have sitting in the shed.
I would bottom out the strut on my 95 with cut Intrax/Konis more than I'd like.

I can attest to this! The handling is Fantastic with these springs. With the Tokico/Intrax combo its VERY livable. When I drove the car on some more rough desert back-roads the ride a bit on the rough side but I think that was exemplafied by typical SHO dash shake and the rattles this car had (No offense Eric) from the door panels being so loose (The front passenger side door panel fell off a week after I got the car
, Probably had somthing to do with when the car previously had coilovers 
). Since my father had all the door panel clips replaced, tightened up every interior panel he could and no longer has to drive on these back roads to get to work he said the Ride is VERY smooth on freeways and really liveable, This is with ALSFB's as well.Here's how the car sits today...

Nope... when I push the car, I push it hard. I know what it feels like when you bottom a suspension out.
And going off of Sam's description of the tokico/intrax, I'd have to say that the Tokico/Moog setup is as firm if not firmer. I've been in a Tokico/Eibach equip'd car, and that felt just a tad bit firmer than stock(new stock) compared to the tokico/moog setup.

do you all realize that you erased years of engineering by lowering your cars because you are now damaging suspension parts that were designed to a specific height for these cars.......all for a look

Koni/Eibach (1 coil cut in front, uncut in rear)
I want the front to be lower,maybe I'll cut another coil.
